BuddyPress.org

You could use Google News to set up stories related to that content:
https://news.google.com/

And then set up a Google News plugin that feeds in the data.
Something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-news/

Not sure if that’s the best option (haven’t tried it) but you could search through the WP plugin repo to find a good Google News plugin and get it to sync in the stories you want.

you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed to activate users added

I finally got down to make a ticket out of it, if people have similar problems: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

I’ve created a ticket here now, for those with similar issues like me: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

Hi!

I have WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.8.1.

I had the same issue above where the notifications menu shows up twice.

This was with WordPress 3.8 and when I updated to Buddypress 1.9.1.

I went back to Buddypress 1.8.1 after this.

I haven’t tried it again since I updated to WordPress 3.8.1…

Perhaps I should??

Also, Buddy theme, but not updated recently as have modified the original theme a bit.

I know this is a little old, but I’ve seen other questions linked to this answer.

I tried the above suggestion and it took down the site. All pages read;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/(Cpanl-User-Name-Retracted)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 3

Paul do you have any other variations that might work or has anyone had any success?

Running WordPress Multisite and BuddyPress.

Thanks!

@ubernaut is right – it’s called oEmbed and it’s a feature provided by WordPress core. BuddyPress supports oEmbeds in activity updates by default. If you’re not seeing a YouTube video after pasting in a YouTube video’s link, then there is possibly a problem with your theme.

Hello @thecbell,

This should be a good starting point. Though a little old, the plugin below does a similar job for the sMember system, but you can give it a try in your development install and report any progress/set-back in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profiles-manager/

Good luck 😉

@icog,

Quit being an oliver twist…

But I think this is what you’re trying to do:

Do the followings and you’re well on your way…

1. Install the plugin “BP Group Organizer”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-group-organizer/

2. Install GroupOmatic Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groupomatic/

Follow @megainfo’s instructions above by installing the GroupOMatic plugin to create appropriate conditions for the filling-in of matching profile field at registration.

You can also utilise the Hierarchy plugin to manage the groups.

It’s fairly easy to manage what you seek with the above solutions including the suggestions of @megainfo…

GroupOmatic plugin is not compatible (just use it and quit complaining), OR create a plugin of your own that does just that. Or if you can spare some change buy the pro version.

Old topic, but maybe interesting? I needed the same functionallity so I created a plugin that might help here, too:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-foaf/

Don’t know if this is helpful, but both these return bool(false) when not disabling profile sync:

var_dump(bp_has_members( 'type=alphabetical&include=' . bp_get_friendship_requests() ))
var_dump($members_template->has_members())

So is this a WordPress bug then..?

Hi @dtc7240,

Thank you very mutch for reporting bugs.

i have added fix on the last version (1.3).
I just want to mention that i keeped the ability to members to change the visibility of no threaded comment( join group, leave group, ..etc) since this activities concerns it.

be cargful when you add this tests on your version:
if( bp_activity_user_can_delete() && bp_get_activity_type() == 'activity_update' ) {

it’s can stop the plugin to work for others plugins like buddydrive or others ( they use others activity type other than ‘activity_update’).

I invite you to join the support forum of the plugin for more enhancement and suggestions.

Thanks again for the fix.

Regards,
Mounir

Not sure but Did you confirm your WordPress Settings https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ having Membership Checked.

No news here? I can confirm that the problem exist with only 1 plugin active (BuddyPress), network activated or not, and may be connected to the issue where the names of group members don’t show up at all (if the user hasn’t edited their WordPress profile name that is, then it’s cool).

@aniclip Take a look at rtMedia plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/ . I also tagged @boonebgorges – He did a incredible job on project that has portfolios for people. He may have a better suggestion.

@webauthor
You are looking for similiar features like I did. I understand your frustration, but finally, there’s nearly nothing that can’t be done with buddypress – if you have the right skills.

I found a solution concerning different registration/profile fields or types: give it a try

Also, I know there’s a plugin for conditional fields, but I’m not sure if it works: check it out

Support isn’t always that fast – that’s right. But finally most of my questions could be answered in the past.

Good luck!

@davidbisset I probably should booked that as my first ever wordpcamp & buddycamp. You seem to get it – innovative solutions business can use through educating!!!

I have never been to any camps; I live atlanta but what I have seen on wordpress.tv — not impressed. Most of all camps seemed to gear around those in the design/development industry ; instead creating educating tracks for startups/small businesses that’s not about blogs which equals in lost opportunities/exposure and at the core relationship building.

In closing, I am commending you on your wordcamps because seems to be some of the best.

Hi Mounir (@megainfo). I stumbled across another php notice when pulling up my members page:

PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$activity_count in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/includes/bp-activity-privacy-filters.php on line 114

Can you please add the second argument to the if statement below in the bp_visibility_activity_filter() function when you have a chance?

        if ( $remove_from_stream && isset($activities->activity_count) ) {
            $activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count - 1;
            unset( $activities->activities[$key] );
        }

Thank you very much,
Scott

It looks like you might be using PHP4. WordPress requires PHP5, so ask your host to switch you to the latest version of PHP5 they have available and ask them to remove the open_basedir restrictions.

@thatmtnman it’s getting better – lots of performance improvements are in-progress and many are planned. See some of the recently active Trac tickets for examples:
